Trinity Rep’s director of community engagement and creator of the Community Sing, Michelle Cruz, says, “Music is an inspirational part of the holiday season and being able to bring the community together, in song, across our city, gives us all a voice in a time we may not feel heard. This is a unifying event and I’m so glad we can all come together, whether you’re a Trinity Rep subscriber, one of our community partners, or someone who needs a little holiday cheer, this is for everyone. Be sure to join us and lend your voice.”
